Welcome and Intimations

Prayer and Lord’s Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power, and the glory
for ever and ever.
Amen.

CH4 189 Be still for the presence of the Lord

1. Be still, for the presence of the Lord,
   the Holy One, is here;
   come bow before Him now
   with reverence and fear:
   in Him no sin is found –
   we stand on holy ground.
   Be still, for the presence of the Lord,
   the Holy One, is here.
   

2. Be still, for the glory of the Lord
   is shining all around;
   He burns with holy fire,
   with splendour He is crowned:
   how awesome is the sight –
   our radiant King of light!
   Be still, for the glory of the Lord
   is shining all around.
   

3. Be still, for the power of the Lord
   is moving in this place:
   He comes to cleanse and heal,
   to minister His grace -
   no work too hard for Him.
   In faith receive from Him.
   Be still, for the power of the Lord
   is moving in this place.

CH4 506 All I once held dear

1. All I once held dear, built my life upon,
   all this world reveres, and wars to own,
   all I once thought gain I have counted loss;
   spent and worthless now, compared to this:
   

   Knowing You, Jesus,
   knowing You,
   there is no greater thing.
   You’re my all, You’re the best,
   You’re my joy, my righteousness,
   and I love You, Lord.
   

2. Now my heart’s desire is to know You more,
   to be found in You and known as Yours,
   to possess by faith what I could not earn,
   all-surpassing gift of righteousness.
   

   Knowing You, Jesus,
   knowing You,
   there is no greater thing.
   You’re my all, You’re the best,
   You’re my joy, my righteousness,
   and I love You, Lord.
   

3. Oh, to know the power of Your risen life,
   and to know You in Your sufferings,
   to become like You in Your death, my Lord,
   so with You to live and never die.
   

   Knowing You, Jesus,
   knowing You,
   there is no greater thing.
   You’re my all, You’re the best,
   You’re my joy, my righteousness,
   and I love You, Lord.

CH4 250 Sent by the Lord Am I

1. Sent by the Lord am I; my hands are ready now
   to make the earth the place in which the kingdom comes.
   Sent by the Lord am I; my hands are ready now
   to make the earth the place in which the kingdom comes.
   

2. The angels cannot change world of hurt and pain
   into a world of love, of justice and of peace.
   The task is mine to do, to set it really free.
   Oh, help me to obey; help me to do Your will.

CH4 528 Make Me a Channel of Your Peace

1. Make me a channel of Your peace.
   Where there is hatred let me bring Your love;
   where there is injury, Your pardon, Lord;
   and where there’s doubt, true faith in You.
   

   O Master, grant that I may never seek
   so much to be consoled as to console;
   to be understood as to understand;
   to be loved, as to love with all my soul.
   

2. Make me a channel of Your peace.
   Where there’s despair in life let me bring hope;
   where there is darkness, only light;
   and where there’s sadness, ever joy.
   

   O Master, grant that I may never seek
   so much to be consoled as to console;
   to be understood as to understand;
   to be loved, as to love with all my soul.
   

3. Make me a channel of Your peace.
   It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
   in giving to all men that we receive;
   and in dying that we’re born to eternal life.
